Again just digging into the numbers a bit after 3 weeks in the books. Let me know which schools you feel can bounce back from an 0-3 start and make it into the IHSA state playoff field.
3-0 Teams Which teams have the best chance of posting a 9-0 regular season record?
0-3 Teams
Chicago Leo- Week 6 brings DelaSalle and a chance to get in the win column. But playoffs? No.
I don't see any of these three Central Sub North teams beow making the playoffs
Niles North
Highland Park
Vernon Hills
St. Edward The Green Wave have been in a downward spiral the last year plus....fingers crossed they can find a win in 2024.
Crystal Lake South Week 7 at the team listed bwlow could be the Gators best chance for a win. odds are ther Gators could find a few wins here.
McHenry Can the Warriors get one this Friday against Dundee Crown?
Lisle The early schedule has been BRUTAL and should lighten up.
Reed-Custer- Despite the record for now this program remains in good shape and has good numbers at all levels.
Buffalo Grove I just get the feeling if anyone here can turn thing around and challenge for the playoffs it could be the Bison.
Elk Grove The Grens have been close in all three losses and should find it's way to a handful of wins.
Oak Lawn The Spartans have been competitive in all three games and should find it's way to a few wins here.
Hillcrest Can this be the biggest surprise at 0-3? I can see the Hawks getting things put together and this team can also potentially get to 4-5 wins.
Plainfield East It's gone down really really fast at PE and more than a few have told me they might go 0-9
Plainfield Central The Wildcats will get things going soon and get a few wins this season.
Neuqua Valley Stunning to see this name here who should find a way to a few wins this season.
DeKalb The Barbs are anoiher name I thought would have a better showing. I can see them get a handful of wins here.
OFallon Stunning to see the Panthers here. They should get a win or two later in the regular season.
Alton Rough rough early schedule form the Cardinals that should ease up later in the season. Look for wins potentially in Weeks 8 and 9.
Bartlett The Bartlett offense has struggled but they have a lot of bad left on the schedule and should win some games.
East Aurora- The Tomcats I thought looked decent this summer. Oh well.
Glenbard West Rough first three games and a fourth this week at Lyons. It won't be easy...but why do I have a feeling the Hitters aren' quite dead here just yet?
Rock Island - What happened in Rocky over the past handful of years? This proud traditional power program is a shell of what it was for decades.
